The producer, tasting note published in 10/05/2024

Bright, medium-intensity ruby in colour. The nose is expressive and elegant, showing fresh red fruit aromas of raspberry and strawberry, complemented by a subtle herbal note. On the palate, fresh, linear acidity and smooth tannins create excellent balance. The finish is moderate in length, crisp, and fruit-driven.

All wines from this producer

This wine is presented as a taste of home: expressive, comforting, and authentic. The palate is generous and fruit-driven, with texture and vibrant freshness that are so characteristic of the Dão. A toast to every return home, and a wine made for moments of joy and sharing.<p>

The creative force behind the Dão wines of No Rules Wines is winemaker <b>Tiago Macena</b>. Guided by a deep passion for his craft, Tiago works in close harmony with nature to produce distinctive, irreverent wines that faithfully reflect the viticultural identity of the Serra da Estrela sub-region. Each bottle captures his dedication to viticulture and the unique terroir of the Dão, offering a window into the region’s rich history and culture.<p>

<b>Portal da Estrela</b> is an ideal choice for those seeking to explore new flavour nuances with elegance and sophistication.<p>

<b>Vinification:</b> Each grape variety is vinified separately, using careful, gentle extraction to preserve purity and freshness. The wines are aged in concrete tanks, with blending carried out in the spring following harvest. The final blend undergoes further ageing in concrete, followed by light fining and filtration prior to bottling.

At No Rules Wines, our passion goes beyond wine itself. It’s about breaking barriers and pushing beyond limits. Born from a desire to innovate and challenge convention, our project is driven by the creation of distinctive experiences through wine. We reject fixed formulas and embrace an experimental approach to winemaking, always grounded in knowledge, skill, and accumulated experience. The wine is ours, we make the rules.

Winemaker Tiago Macena continuously challenges traditional techniques to craft wines that surprise and inspire. With irreverence and creativity, he explores new ways of expressing the Dão through wine, while remaining deeply respectful of the region’s unique terroir.

The roots of No Rules Wines are firmly anchored in Serra da Estrela and the Dão. Each bottle reflects our pride in this remarkable land. In every grape lies a commitment to sustainable viticulture, one that protects biodiversity and preserves the region’s natural resources. In every wine, the expertise of our viticulturists comes together with innovative practices to produce wines of genuine character and distinction.

Our limited production scale allows for meticulous control at every stage of the winemaking process. From the careful selection of vineyard plots and precise harvesting, through fermentation, ageing, and bottling, each step is carried out with dedication and attention to detail.

Prioritising quality over quantity is a fundamental principle of our philosophy. Every bottle represents the result of passion, craftsmanship, and respect for the art of winemaking, offering wine lovers an authentic, expressive, and enriching experience.

You're Overpaying for French Wine Because You Don't Know About Portugal

Here's what other wine producing countries don't want you to know:

Portugal makes wines just as good, sometimes better, for half the price. Everyone’s been trained to worship the same names: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa, Tuscany. But here’s the uncomfortable truth those wine giants don’t want you to hear:

Portugal is making wines just as exceptional, and often better, for a fraction of the price.

And no, this isn’t a budget alternative. It’s a massive blind spot in the wine world. While the rest of the planet keeps pumping out the same 12 internationally famous grape varieties - Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay - Portugal has been doing something radically different.

They’ve quietly preserved more than 250 indigenous grapes you can’t find anywhere else on Earth.

Not copies. Not variations. Completely unique varieties with flavours, aromas, and textures you’ve literally never tasted before.

That £80 Cabernet you just splurged on? Portugal has wines made from grapes you’ve never even heard of… and they’ll absolutely stun you, for £20–£30.

Imagine discovering flavours that feel familiar and completely new.

Imagine drinking wine that feels like a secret... because hardly anyone else knows about it yet.
